Independent site visits, progress monitoring, evidence and reporting when you cannot be there yourself.
The Problem
Project Supervision gives diaspora members independent, structured monitoring of a project already underway — a build, a renovation, a farm, a facility — with regular, honest reporting back to you.
Distance creates a visibility gap
Distance should not mean sending money, trusting promises or making important decisions without knowing what is actually happening. BOWestAfrica helps diaspora members independently verify information, monitor projects and, where specifically agreed, coordinate local execution in West Africa.
Your money remains your decision. Your project remains your project. Our role is to help you see clearly, act with better information and stay connected to what is happening on the ground.

Pricing & Payment
Members submit before payment. Non-members can purchase fixed-price options directly; variable scopes are reviewed first.
Process
Tell us about your project, location and what you want independently monitored.
Members are reviewed before payment. Fixed-price standard packages can proceed to secure payment when online service payments are open; Custom Supervision is reviewed and quoted before payment.
After acceptance and payment, BOWestAfrica confirms the monitoring plan and prepares or assigns the agreed local work.
Scheduled site visits check progress and document what is happening with appropriate photos, notes and evidence.
You receive the agreed reports, review the information and close any final follow-up before completion.
Project Supervision
Independent oversight of a project run by your own team or contractors — regular visits, documentation and honest reporting, keeping everyone accountable.
Project Management
Project Management actively coordinates planning, contractors, suppliers and delivery — a fuller, hands-on service for when you need structured local coordination.
FAQ
Reporting frequency is agreed with you at the start — typically on a recurring schedule that fits your project.
Supervision monitors and reports — for direct coordination of contractors and local operations, see Project Management above.
Yes — a baseline visit brings us up to speed before regular supervision begins.
Your project. Your contractors. Your decisions. Our independent eyes on the ground. BOWestAfrica visits, checks, documents and reports so you can compare what is happening on site with what you have been told.
Your money remains your decision. Your project remains your project. Our role is to help you see clearly, act with better information and stay connected to what is happening on the ground. People living abroad often depend on calls, photos, relatives, contractors, suppliers or other third parties to understand what is happening locally. Information may be incomplete, delayed or different from what is happening on the ground. BOWestAfrica exists to close that visibility gap with independent checks, documentation and direct reporting.
Active members submit first. BOWestAfrica reviews the request, applies the member discount, calculates applicable taxes and confirms the price before issuing a payment request. For members, payment completion makes the confirmed request ready for BOWestAfrica activation. Active service or project work starts only after that activation; a submitted or paid-but-not-activated request is not presented as active field work.
For a fixed-price public service, a non-member may be asked to pay at checkout before BOWestAfrica completes its operational review. The payment status is Payment Received — Pending BOWestAfrica Review until the request is accepted. If BOWestAfrica determines that it cannot provide a paid non-member request, the service payment is refunded in full. Once an accepted service has started, the normal cancellation and refund terms apply.
Member service discount: Silver 5%, Gold 10%, Diamond 15% on eligible BOWestAfrica professional service fees only. Membership fees and third-party or project expenses are not discounted.
Applicable taxes are calculated through the checkout based on the transaction and billing information. BOWestAfrica does not automatically apply Québec taxes to every customer worldwide.
For members, payment completion makes the confirmed request ready for BOWestAfrica activation. Active service or project work starts only after that activation; a submitted or paid-but-not-activated request is not presented as active field work.
BOWestAfrica does not automatically hold or control the client’s full project budget. Whenever practical, clients pay verified suppliers or contractors directly. Any expense BOWestAfrica is specifically asked to handle must be authorized, documented and governed by the written agreement and appropriate legal, accounting and payment controls.
Contractors, suppliers, materials, government charges, specialist fees, travel and other third-party or project expenses are separate unless a written scope expressly includes them.
Connected Service Experience
Members submit from their dashboard and BOWestAfrica reviews the request before confirming the discounted service price and issuing payment. Visitors can still request services without membership; fixed-price public options may proceed to payment before BOWestAfrica completes its operational review.
